Work from Daylight Until Dark-Cuttius
Logs-Accidsnts-Csid wssthsr
The lumberman's days work is from
daylight until dark. No matter how
far his working ground is from the
camp he must be on the spot by day
light and not leave 1t till hsS can see to
work no longer, though he may be ten
or fifteen miles from the shanty. The
size Of the camps varies from ten TO
seventy-five and one hundred men, and
as rule they are all hsrd-working, So
ber men.
They live in low. log shanties," con-
tinued my friend. The first thing q
camp does Is to construct their abiding
place and then cut a main road through
the woods to the river in which il is in
tended to dump the logs. As soon as
the frost comes on and the ground 10
hard the chopping begins. There is one
man known as chopper, who is fol-
lowed by two men who saw the tree
into logs; next come q 'swamper' and
'chainer'-the 'skidaway' men, with q
yoke Of oxen. The 'swamper' strips the
logs and the 'chainer' fastens Q chain TO
them so that they can be hauled to the
skidaway, which is two trees cut down
and placed four feet apart and laid at
right angles to the road and on which
the logs are piled. From this they are
taken on broad sheds to the river and
dumped over the bank on to the ice.
The logs are cut from twelve to thirty
feet long and, where we are, are all
white or Norway pine. Their thickness
varies from eight inches to five feet
THE river we use is the east fork Of
the Black river, which takes them to
Lacrosse. The pay of the lumberman is
from $40 to sec a month and board.
They don't draw their pay till the spring;
and then there are high times in the
towns along the river. Many spend all
their earnings in drink. in spree
which lasts two or three days. Acci.
dents among the lumbermen: Oh, yes.
lots Of them. Many are injured and
killed by limbs of trees falling on them,
drowning or cutting themselves with an
axe.
very cold sometimes? Well, people
here would think SO, but we don't mind
it much, as a rule. Last winter the
weather average 81 degrees below zero
for six weeks, and the men think moth
ing of working in weather when the rec.
ord is 20 to 30 below zero. But have
seen it so cold there that mems ears,
noses, hands and feet would freeze and
they couldn't work-so cold that when
a man would catch hold of an axe he
couldn't hold it. These times are only
rare, however.-Cor. New York Mail

COMMISSIONER COLEMAN has writ

ten q letter to Governor Oglesby, Of
Illinois, sharply protesting against
what he terms the violation by the
Illinois state live stock commissioner
Of the rules prepared by the commits
sioner Of agriculture to regulate coop
GRAFTON between the general govern
ment and the states for the suppress
sion Of pleuro-pneumonis. He cites
rule 10, providing that all animals af-
fected with contagious pneumonia are
to be slaughtered ss soou after their
discovery as necessary arrangements
can be made, and says: 1T Is notori-
ous that such animals were not
promptly slaughtered" He declares
that despite the express stipulation
that innoculation shall not be prac-
tised In Illinois, innoculstion has been
permitted. He calls attention to the
provisions that quarantine shall not be
removed without due notice to the de-
partment. and that all necessary dis
infection shall be conducted by the
Department and declares there have
been violations Of these rules Of SO i'm
portant q character that they threaten
to impair, If not destroy, the value Of
WI at is being done in Chicago and
New York and lead to results so dis
sstrous TO the whole country that he
cannot allow them without entering a
most emphatic protest. The commits
sioner refers TO the action Of the COM
mission in resolving itself into scien-
tific committee for the purpose of as
cer'aining whether pleuro-pne imonia
can be spread by immediate contact.
In pursuance OF that obligations
of the state were violated, the con-
fidence of the country destroyed,
and ays: 1T is generally considered
safest to leave scientific questions to
be settled by -cieuiifir men, aud IA de-
parture from this rule is nearly always
followed by confusion worse con
founded" The commissioner, in
pointing out the danger bv relilling
stables, ssys: with the fiJor under
laid by great mas Of organic filth,
with which these stables are possibly
saturated with contaginn, the removal
of few 'ards many months since
might set up an outbreak which would
repeat all the losses of restrictions aud
the burdens of the various kinds
that have been suffered from the pres
ent calamity. In conclusion the com-
missioner says: "It appears now
dolbly important that you should take
such action ~ will leave no reason for
doubt in the mind Of any one as to the
future policy Of your state live stock
commissioners. To this end would
respectfully suggest that you cause
the order Of the board in regard To re.
filling Shufeldt stables to be- revoked.
That the cattle in these sheds be
Immediately slaughtered and this de-
psrtmeDt be given an opportunity to
practice such disinfectants as are de-
sirable and possible under the circum-
stances. / make this suggestion on

stricted commerce which are together
